NEWMAN,Formerly Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Districtof Columbia.I'm going to start this article by telling you a storyabout a stage-coach driver and a wasp's rifeet. Please readcarefully, because I think you '11 like the story, to start with,and agree with me as to its point, to end with.A friend of mine was making a trip through fellowstone National Park on a coach which was being drawn bysix horses. He was sitting with the driver, who was anexpert with his long whip. One of the lead horses got a bighorse fly on his ear and made an awful fuss about it, tossinghis head about and almost jumping out of the harness.The driver.curled his whip,, whirled it through the airaround his head, and gave it a crack. The fly was neatlysnipped off without touching the horse's ear.A little further on the driver again whirled the whip,circled it gracefully about in the air, and cracked it sharply,thereby nipping a bunch of leaves off of a tree on a bankfifteen feet above his head.4 ' That was fine, ' ??*?*.?*! my friend. * ' Now, let me see yousnip off that wasp's nest hanging from that limb aheadof ?us." .. ?*"Look here, friend," said the driver, shaking his head,"a fly is a fly, and a leaf is a leaf, but a wasp's nest is anorganization."Do you begin to get the point.The citizens' associations of the District of Columbiashould be of such character that everybody who comes alongwill say to himself:"A fly is a fly, nnd a leaf is a leaf, but a citizens' association in Washington, ia an organization."Today, unfortunal !\, the citizens' associations, in spiteof all the good work they have done, are not as effective asthey ought to be, because they're not sufficiently representative. Not enough people belong to them. They are muchstronger than they used to be. They have a pile of good results behind them, but they can be a hundred times moreeffective and more useful.There's only one thing needed for the citizens' associations to be the strongest single factor in the community.That is a big membership. That's the reason this drive isbeing conducted now.WE WANT CONGRESS AND THE COMMISSIONERSTO KNOW THAT AT LEAST 25,000 CITIZENS OF THETOWN ARE ORGANIZED.In this day organization is necessary to mere existence,not to mention progress. If you're a member of a groupengaged in any undertaking?civic, political, commercial,industrial, or what not?the first thing you must do if you'regoing to get anywhere is ORGANIZE.Complaining to the Monument.If the people of Washington are Inot compactly and effectively organ- jized, it will do no good to try to!get things done. We might just as |well go down to |h* Monument andcomplain to it because it isn't round. !'?"or instance: Eighteen years a?;o jwhen I was a reporter on the oldWashington Times, which then *?ada morning and evening edition andwas owned and edited by that pioneer journalistic genius, StilsonHutchins, In the old red brick building at Tenth and D, I was sent onenight to cover a ir-eeting of a citi-1zens' association.Resolutions were adopted, and forwarded to the Commissioners andto the District Committees of Con- jgres.-?, on the following subjects:For paving all the streets in that |neighborhood.For locating the District Building Ion the old power house site at Fourteenth and Pennsylvania avenue.For national representation of theDistrict in Congress.For the appointment of the Boardof Education by the PresidentFor a new Central High School.For the appointment of a bonaflde, old-time resident and citizen of IWashington to the vacancy then existing on the Board of Commi isioners.
